[FWTools] NG Bindings, numpy, & 1.4.0 Beta 1

All,
1.4.0 beta 1 includes preliminary support for numpy in the next-gen
bindings. Functionally, it appears to work, but it has not been
thoroughly tested. Those who are interested in using numpy with GDAL
are encouraged to build up the next-gen bindings and give it a
whirl. Catch me on #gdal if you have any issues with building or
using it.
